Moves
========
Flame Charge allows Silvally-Fairy to hit Steel-types such as Alolan Sandslash and Ferroseed while simultaneously boosting its Speed, enabling it to Speed tie with Primeape at +1 and outspeed slower Choice Scarf users such as Abomasnow. U-turn allows Silvally-Fairy to pivot out of a bad matchup, like against Tangela or Metang, without wasting its boosts.
Set Details
========
Maximum Speed investment along with a Jolly nature is required in order to outspeed some potential threats to Silvally-Fairy's sweep such as Skuntank and Rotom-F as well as Speed tie with Primeape at +1.
Usage Tips
========
A combination of a good defensive typing, solid natural bulk, and U-turn allow Silvally-Fairy to be brought in at several times throughout a match and pressure many common threats, particularly Fighting-types such as Gurdurr, which are forced to switch out in its presence. This can provide Silvally-Fairy with an opportunity to set up. However, a lack of reliable recovery means it is hindered by entry hazards, particularly Spikes; when these are up, Silvally-Fairy is best reserved for late-game, when potential threats such as Qwilfish and Simisear have been weakened and Silvally-Fairy can begin a sweep. Although Flame Charge should primarily be treated as a boosting move, it's attack status allows it to bypass Taunt. Consequently, when facing a Taunt user that may try to prevent Silvally-Fairy from setting up, Flame Charge should be prioritized over Swords Dance. Additionally, if facing a Choice Scarf user that may immediately outspeed and threaten Silvally-Fairy, such as Primeape with Gunk Shot, Flame Charge should be prioritized in order to at least Speed tie. When facing a Rocky Helmet user such as Qwilfish or Mawile, Silvally-Fairy should switch normally instead of using U-turn, as it will most likely take more damage than it deals, even at +2. Finally, be mindful when switching into status users, as while it may be tempting to secure an early KO against them, Silvally-Fairy may get burned or paralyzed in the process, hindering its late-game sweep.
Team Options
========
Ground-types such as Mudsdale make effective partners with their ability to blanket check much of the tier's Poison- and Steel-types that pose a threat to Silvally-Fairy's sweep, such as Aggron and the aforementioned Metang. Spikes setters such as Froslass and Ferroseed help to chip away at many of Silvally-Fairy's most common checks, particularly those that lack reliable recovery, such as Metang and Qwilfish. In contrast, Silvally-Fairy benefits greatly from entry hazard removal, as it also lacks reliable recovery. Ferroseed and Alolan Sandslash can be ideal for the roles of Spikes setter and hazard remover, respectively, as they simultaneously bait in Fighting-types, providing Silvally-Fairy with an easy switch-in. Normal-type wallbreakers such as Stoutland and Kangaskhan appreciate the pressure on opposing Fighting-types when paired with Silvally-Fairy and can threaten walls such as Mudsdale that Silvally-Fairy may struggle to take down. Eelektross's extensive coverage is effective in offensively pressuring several obstacles to Silvally-Fairy's sweep, particularly those that lack special bulk, such as Tangela, Mudsdale, Qwilfish, and Metang. Additionally, Silvally-Fairy appreciates Eelektross being a slow pivot in order to avoid chip damage, and Dragon-types such as Drampa and Altaria that would usually wall Eelektross are threatened by Silvally-Fairy. Victreebel makes for a good offensive partner with its STAB coverage that threatens many of Silvally-Fairy's checks, such as Qwilfish and Tangela, and its altogether high damage output that can carve a path for Silvally-Fairy's late-game sweep. A Fire-type and Simisear answer such as Lanturn could be highly useful, as many of Silvally-Fairy's aforementioned team options are threatened by Fire-type attacks, and Silvally-Fairy is also threatened by Simisear. Lastly, Hitmonchan can provide good support for Silvally-Fairy, capable of removing hazards while pressuring some of Silvally-Fairy's checks with Toxic, such as Tangela and Mudsdale, and others, such as Qwilfish and Jellicent, with Thunder Punch.
